Foods High in Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble and is used in every part of the body. Like
calcium, it builds bones and teeth and keeps them strong. A
vitamin D deficiency can occur when usual intake is lower than
recommended levels over time, exposure to sunlight is limited, the
kidneys cannot convert vitamin D to its active form, or absorption of
vitamin D from the digestive tract is inadequate.

Only a few foods naturally have vitamin D. The best source is
fatty fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel. Beef liver, cheese, egg yoke
and mushrooms provide smaller amounts.

Many foods are fortified with vitamin D.

Such as:

Milk, Yogurt, cheese

Orange juice fortified with vitamin D

Ready to eat fortified cereal

Fortified Soymilk

Fortified Rice milk

Fortified Almond milk

Fish oil, cod liver

Sun Exposure:

Most people can meet some of their vitamin D needs through exposure to
the sunlight.

It is important to remember sun protection factor of 8 or more appears
to block vitamin D producing UV rays. So on must balance the need of
proper sun protection and meeting vitamin D needs.
